Reply to "44 IDF Synchronization"

I just went through this in a big way...check your valves and your timing very first - then get into the carb (ask me how I know).

One of the problems Larry pointed out to me was my distributor. My car had been sitting with little use and the grease in the disti had coagulated (can I say that here). It stuck to the weights and the timing wouldn't advance properly. At his advise, I took it out and cleaned it and it helped me complete the process. To check for this condition, hook the timing light up and watch the timing move while you rev the engine form idle to 2500 - it should be a smnooth progression, Mine was not - it held up and jumped around 2000-2500.

I also found that my accel pump settings were off causing me problems at off idle accel.

Once these things were taken care of - setting the synch (which I did AT 2500 rpms) was a snap.

I updated mine with CB Performance weblink and put a new CB linkage on because my old one was flexing and twisting. This made a huge improvement also.

Please post your progress...
Mike
